    Kinder Morgan misses fourth-quarter profit estimates
    Pipeline and terminal operator Kinder Morgan on Wednesday posted a lower-than-expected profit for the fourth quarter, as higher interest expenses and weakness in the natural gas pipeline segment hurt margins during the period. The company posted an adjusted profit of 28 cents per share for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with analysts' average estimate of 30 cents per share, according to LSEG data. U.S. natural gas futures fell nearly 44% in 2023, its first annual fall in four years, which is also its biggest decline since 2006, dragged by record production, ample inventories in storage and relatively mild weather conditions, hitting transportation firms like Kinder Morgan.  ( 34 min )

    Mother whose child died in TikTok challenge urges US court to revive lawsuit

Members of a three-judge panel of the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals noted during oral arguments that a key federal law typically shields internet companies like TikTok from lawsuits for content posted by users. But some judges questioned whether Congress in adopting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996 could have imagined the growth of platforms like TikTok that do not just host content but recommend it to users using complex algorithms.  ( 34 min )

    Slightly hot Dec US CPI suggests Fed won't rush to cut
    U.S. consumer prices increased more than expected in December as rents maintained their upward trend, which could delay a much anticipated interest rate cut in March from the Federal Reserve. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.3% last month after nudging up 0.1% in November, the Labor Department said on Thursday. In the 12 months through December, the CPI rose 3.4% after increasing 3.1% in November.  ( 34 min )

    Fed minutes may elaborate on coming rate cut debate
    Precisely when the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates stands as the big unknown for markets and economists as 2024 kicks off, and fresh details about its pivot in that direction may emerge from Wednesday's readout of the last policy meeting of 2023.

But the year-end projections leave the timing about any initial rate cut in doubt, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell at his press conference following the meeting insisted that was not yet a live topic of discussion.  ( 35 min )

    The crystal balls are cloudy, and the energy sector is difficult to predict for 2024. Conventional wisdom says, ‘Oil is going higher;’ after all, there is a war in the Middle East. But neither Israel nor Hamas exports oil, and prices are down from a mid-October spike. The conflicted headwinds of the energy sector, and the oil industry especially, have put heavy pressure on energy stocks in recent months. Even the current war in the Middle East only caused a brief spike in prices, and the OPEC+ g  ( 39 min )

    AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -Computer chip equipment maker ASML said the Dutch government had partially revoked an export licence for the shipment of some of its machines to China, prompting a dip in shares and criticism from Beijing on Tuesday.

    Bitcoin climbs above $45,000 for first time since April 2022
    Bitcoin rose above $45,000 on Tuesday for the first time since April 2022 as the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency started 2024 with a bang buoyed by optimism around possible approval of exchange-traded spot bitcoin funds.
